I wonder if the old-skool passive evaporator and cold-wall designs with metal interiors had enough thermal mass to need some extra time to bring things down--wasn't that always the criticism of them compared to the Westinghouse Cold Injector...lol.

Yay to Launderess post above.
"The one thing that almost all literature I've seen does state is that setting the cold control to the coldest option won't make the fridge cool down any faster. "
No, it won't and that is one thing people just won't get through their thick heads.
Yay. This drives me crazy.
We have a community hall in town and a small group of us meet once or twice a week to practice yoga. (On hold due to covid 19...)
The hall has 3 Fujitsu reverse cycle machines. The ceiling is high, insulation is very poor, the area is cool to cold most of the year. (By Aussie standards - you Midwesterners would laugh at what we call cold...)
So often when set to heat, the temp is cranked up to 30 degrees C, when we start to get uncomfortably hot, someone will get up and switch it off. Till it gets cold, then switch it back on to 30.
It drives me nuts - I have tried in a friendly, good humoured way to explain that we should set the stat to a comfortable temp and LEAVE IT THERE, people nod and smile and agree but next week it is set to 30 again...
I go to yoga to help unwind and to relax, so I try to let it go...
breathe.... breathe...

In one of the offices at work where I was manager it was a constant thing where some of the woman would be freezing in summer while most of the guys were beginning to sweat. Hence the battle of the thermostat. I'd tell the woman to bring a sweater or not to wear open type shoes because they guys couldn't strip down anymore lol. Eventually I had one of those plastic covers installed over the thermostat. That didn't work as they'd use an unfolded paper clip to nudge the lever etc.. So I had the maintenance people come in and disable the thermostat but leave it in place, and install one in my office. The staff then thought they were changing the temp but were doing actually nothing . I got the idea from somewhere and it may very well have been someone else on here, years ago.
